Re: Data in a discrete2D world.

[Doug Donalson;]

Hi,

    Ginger is correct.  I have done this for a couple of situations
and I just create an object called a cell which contains whatever I need.

For example right now my "AphytisCell" contains seperate lists for each 
type of organism living in the cell, the cells coordinates with respect 
to the 2-D lattice, the actiual number of each type of organism in the 
cell etc.  In the next phase of the project it will be sub-classed to 
include different refuge and productivity values depending upon where you 
are in the lattice.  Another potentially useful thing to put in a cell if local 
movement is going to be included is references (ID's) of all neighbor 
cells to which movement is allowed.

Cheers,

   Doug Donalson
